Posted on: A stock car can't come from the showroom floor

Once again NASCAR and the columnist don't get it. This article takes for granted the fact the super speedways are the best forum. True NASCAR fans were drawn to the sport by the wheel to wheel action, spinning out the competition, and the brawling after the race. NASCAR has removed all the elements of the sport which made it great; and they wonder why fans are moving away. Today every driver must look a certain way, say the right thing on queue. What is left of the real sport? Want to bring the fans back? Go back to short tracks with cars which look like the actual cars the average fan drives to work. Allow the trash talking and rivalry which was exciting. In short, NASCAR officials watch the 1980 Daytona 500 and try to compare it to modern" racing" see if it even resembles the original sport
